China is in Africa right now bitch slapping every black African around, calling them stupid and lazy to their face. While China makes a new Africa and don't seem to have Black Africans in those plans.

What did the Ghana Idiots think of that?

Well, he was a racist. That's why I chuckled when his statue was placed next to MLK in Oakland.

I'd say that in those times nearly everyone would fall under today's definition of "racist".

Right. But since we are in toppling of "racists statues" mode now, why should we topple some and let the other stand? I'm for equal opportunity toppling.

That is perhaps why the extreme Left likes Sharia - no statues under Islam!
Also, MLK should have his statues toppled - he had some quite non-progressive ideas about gays.

Many people feel the same about Confederate Statues. Exactly the same.

American Blacks are among the most racist. Remove their statues too.
